www.pecentral.org/ -- This first site is one of if, the not the most, comprehensive resources for physical education teachers you can find on the web. Not a blog, per se, but rather an all encompaseing resource with a wide variety information on a wide variety of topics. The site covers just about everything relative to teaching physical education from classroom management suggestions, articles, assessment ideas, lesson plans and links to many supplemental resources like the National Association of Physical Education. PE Central also includes a monthly newsletter that you can sign up for and also message boards for professionals to collaborate, post questions and hold discussions.
My main criticism of the site is that the information can seem somewhat overwhelming and too often the information, once you finally get to it, is not specific enough help design better instruction. For example, I think the lesson ideas are most often geared toward lower elementary physical education and I rarely find useful lesson plans for the secondary level. Having said that, I think the site is great, but I think physical education in the 21st century needs to be more innovative, skill and fitness driven and no so much just playing games.
